Hi Dan,
Knowing you like something I did means really a lot to me. Thank you Dan!
The problem I see with using a line for each char is that I wouldn't be
able to take the bitmap from the display, it would be too big. And it
won't be easy to edit with a text editor to tweak glyphs at will... I
know it is laborious to prepare the bitmap, but it is dog-simple. I
guess this needs some more thinking.
Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
